Nice site...where did you get the titles of the Jan 2006 set?

I didn't get them from anywhere - the captions I use are the emotions I feel are conveyed by those idents.

Just watching some of the Jan 2006 idents, the music was great. I really liked the 'Love' ident music, strange, but very good!

I think the larger logo is a vast improvement. It looked a bit lost before, and didn't really have an impact on the viewer to say "you're watching ITV1". The larger logo corrects this problem.

I do really like all of the currrent ITV1 idents. They're quite imaginative and eye-catching, especially when compared to idents from the past. Even the BBC ONE idents are better now, since they got rid of those stupid dancers. TV idents went through a bit of a lull but I think they've turned a corner generally now.

....and some Buildings that turn all yellow - Haven't a clue what it is actually called.

My oh my these are a vast improvement, you can see the ITV1 logo now and they all no longer have the same music, they've all got some form of variation and they've kept the continuity between them all.

A good effort from ITV, a good chance they'll be sticking with these idents for a while now.

I think its just simply called 'Buildings'
I'm really impressed with the idents, there very good, eyecatching, with a great piece of music to acompany them.

They never all did have the same music from the Jan 2006 set. Each one was slightly different, yet had the same theme. I have to agree with you that it is a great effort from ITV for once! Surprised

Don't get me wrong, I think these new idents are an improvement but I just don't see the significance of them other than... they include items of yellow in them. They just seem boring and un-thoughtful compared to other channels such as:
*Channel 4 where the 4 is formed cleverly and unsuspectingly
*BBC One where the majority such as magical forest and mission control where the circle is formed after a series of events, again, unsuspectingly
AND
*BBC Two where, like Channel 4 to a lesser extent, the Two is cleverly formed out of normal objects.

Of course, I know that ITV 1's aren't the worst in the world but slapping a bit of yellow just seems uninspiring to me. What is their symbol? The Yellow? At least with the other main channels it is clear (Circle, Two, Four)

I'm not saying I want some 'everyday life' ident like Four, Two and to some extent One, but I'm just sick seeing Yellow randomness on my screen! It really is earning it's nickname of Sh it e- v both in presentation and programming.

I know the BBC ONE idents of Rhythm/ Dancers were themed Red but at least the theme was Rhythm... what's the theme with ITV 1?

Rant over. Is it just me though?
